BAN ON CARD PLAYING MAY BE LIFTED WITH REPEAL SHERIDAN LAW SHERIDAN, Wyo. April 2—An- nouncement of intention to introduce @ bill for an ordinance repealing the recently passed “blue law’ forbidding card playing in public places was made by Commissioner Svanberg, fol- lowing = vigorous verbal protest against the latter made by Henry Kroeger, manager of the Sheridan Brewing company, at an open meet- ing of the city commission, Kroeger asserted that the “blue law” was a farce that tended to make Sheridan ridiculous. Gambling, he asserted, was rampant in the city, the anti-public card playing ordinance not having affected gambling in tho slightest degree but merely had de- prived innocent card players of an op- portunity to enjoy a game anywhere except in their own or their friends’ homes. Kroeger ridiculed the police for their confessed inability to detect gamblers and volunteered to assist them in a real effort to suppress the gambling evil.
